Jason Frost, 50, from Nuneaton, told the Mirror Online that they were attacked just hours after arriving in Kiev, while eating dinner.

However Mr Klitschko said it is his “mission” to make everyone that is coming to Kiev happy.

He said: “I am very happy as Mayor of Kiev to have such a great event in our home town, it is my personal mission to make everyone happy that is coming to Kiev.

“It’s a beautiful city, so wonderful, great, friendly people, and I am very proud.”

For fans, travelling to Kiev for the Champions League final has not been without its problems.

Liverpool FC fans have been hit with a number of setbacks, including sky high hotels and flights.

And yesterday more than 1,000 fans were left without any means of travel to the Saturday match, when World Choice Sports cancelled three flights - after being unable to secure landing slots in Boryspil.

Mr Klitschko added: “When there was not enough beds and the hotel prices jumped up many citizens across our city opened their apartments and said for one or two night we would be very happy to invite the fans of football to our homes.

“It shows great character.

“I know it is not easy to put on event and I know there has been some problems, but everybody, we as citizens, we give everything to make everyone happy and everyone who leave tomorrow after the match, have an idea to come back to our wonderful city.”

Liverpool Mayor Joe Anderson and Klitschko have been in discussions with each other to try and get more than 1,000 stranded fans to Kiev and so far one flight has taken off.

Earlier today manager of World Choice Sports Raj Soni said the other two “would definitely not” be flying with them.

Speaking to the ECHO he said: “I am heartbroken and I feel sick for people that have been left behind.

“There is nothing we can do about those two other flights flying out tomorrow.

“They are definitely not going.

“People are assuming that all our flights have been cancelled and we have let everyone down, we have had seven flights go.
